Aston Martin DB6 Shooting Brake
(by Harold Radford and FLM Panelcraft)

Supplies of completed DB5's were exhausted, so Harold Radford carried on producing shooting brakes based on the DB6 with a total of four cars completed.

But for the DB6 Shooting Brake, another independent coachbuilder, FLM (Panelcraft) Ltd. also completed three examples. These cars retained the distinctive DB6 Kamm tail above the tailgate and unlike the Radford's, had a split tailgate where the glass panel is hinged upwards, and the tail panel move down. Sadly, the side view of the cars is spoiled by clumsy window frames and a C pillar that was obviously then copied on the Austin Allegro Estate.

May I think Mr Beat Roos for his assistance with information about Shooting Brakes
